There's "Ignoring diet or food allergies" already but if there's a more inclusive wording, I can update it!

I would put that under "casual bigotry" right now, but I agree that " 'not sexist but' believes in traditional gender roles" is probably common enough to deserve its own box.

AITA for refusing to pay for “my part” of the pizza?

A few friends and I went out to a party and got drunk. Three of us headed back to sleep at Jamie’s. I was pretty out of it and passed out on the couch. I sort of remember one of them asking me, “Hey OP what do you want on the pizza?” I said “cheese” and went back to sleep.

I woke up and the two large pizzas they ordered were gone. They were like “yeah when they got here you were asleep” and asked me to pay a third since I “helped ordered the pizza.” I was really confused by this and said I was not going to pay third for food they ate. They were like “it’s not our fault you were asleep, you helped order the pizza.” I would be happy to pay for it if I got even one piece the morning after! I asked how the two of them (two small girls) even managed to eat two large pizzas and Sarah was like “well Matthew helped.” Matthew is Jamie’s boyfriend. I said then well Matthew should pay for his part. They got angry and said “you helped order it, we would have gotten something else if you hadn’t.”

I refused to pay still because I didn’t want to pay for food that someone else had eaten without even saving me a little. AITA?

AITA for telling an acquaintance I don't want to her about her sex stories if they don't involve me?

quote:

I (21m) went for drinks with my friends and an acquaintance (21f) came along.

A few drinks in and she begins talking about her sex stories and experiences. She was talking about how she hosed this random guy from a bar. I just interrupted and said "If your sex talk doesn't involve me, then I'm not interested". She looked shocked I said that.

Later she texted me saying I was an rear end in a top hat. Basically I don't like to hear about girls telling me about their sex experiences, because it doesn't benefit me. If they start telling me about sex stuff, it just reminds me that I want to gently caress them.

Sometimes girls have spoke about their sex lives and I've managed to get laid with them, but this was one of those times I didn't see an opportunity. So I just interrupted. AITA?

I thought that too. "Hello new acquaintance. Let me tell you about my sexual appetites and how I'm totally cool with one night stands."

AITA for taking my wife’s lasagna to work without telling her?

I had a work party today and we were all suppose to bring a dish. I asked my wife to make dish for me. She told me she will but she didn’t because our kid got in trouble for kicking another student so she had to see the principal and deal with the parents. No big deal. Before you ask, I couldn’t go to the principal meeting because this party is mandatory. My wife told me that I could just grab any of the premade dinner in the freezer upstairs. I took a frozen lasagna from the basement instead because I didn’t think it would be any different than the one upstairs and the fridge upstairs had a lot of crap in it and I wasn’t going to play tetris. I brought it to work and brought home half of it.

My wife was furious. Turns out, the lasagna was made by her grandma who just passed six months ago and she was saving it for her grandma’s birthday for her and her mom. She’s been crying for hours and insisted that I sleep elsewhere tonight. I told her that she’s overreacting. She yelled at me for an hour before she got her stuff, our son and left. She’s sleeping at her moms now, who also yelled at me.

AITA? It’s just a loving lasagna.

6 months + X, where X is however long before mother dearest made and delivered to her some lasagna to be frozen.

Since it sounds like this family is into pre-frozen dinners, if grandma died fast of like a heart attack, it's not out of the question it's only 7-8 months old. If it was packaged well, it is probably in tolerably good condition.

On the bright side, at least half of it is left. Might mean the memorial meal has smaller portions and is twice-frozen, but she can still do her weird ceremony.

In a fridge yeah but frozen? Flavor might get weird (some things freeze odd, some people can taste it more clearly) but health-wise should be fine for a while.

AITA for not paying for a girl's medical bill after I scratched her in the eye?

quote:

Welp. This is embarrassing but here goes.

I was at a party this past weekend. Everybody got kind of wasted. Obviously some more than others, including this friend of a friend. I sat out on the couch trying to sober up and not fall on my face. B sat right next to me and asked me where I get my extensions done. I assumed she meant my lashes so I told her about this lash place I go to. Then she's like "nooo bitch, I'm talking about this." I felt a fist grab a huge chunk of my hair. I tapped her hand and said "no my hair is real, you're hurting me now." She wouldn't let go and said "LET ME SEEEE!" Now I felt 2 fists in my hair pulling harder than before. I tried to loosen her grip by plucking her fingers away but she was so pressed on seeing that my hair was "fake" and even tried pinning me down. The rest of my hair was covering my face so I was flailing my arms around trying to get her off. I know I hit her because she screamed. All our other friends pulled us aside and took us home.

I got a FB message from her saying that she got a diagnosed with a corneal abrasion. She has to take some medicated eye drops for it. She told me that because she doesn't have health insurance, the bill was around $400 and that I should pay the bill because I was the one that scratched her eye. I told her I wouldn't be. I don't care how drunk she was, she was basically attacking me without any good reason.

AITA?
